i WASHINGTON. Oct. 7.-During the
latter part of the reign of King Gilbert
the l over the province of Dakota, under
the imperial authority of Grover the
Great. it came to pass that there were
kickers in the land. And there was
man of Pierre who was not greatly ele-
waited towards Heaven in the matter of
physical tallneSS. but who was mighty
man of yalor, Intellectually. In those
days this man of Pierre was armed with
Faber No. 9, commonly yclept pen
ell, and he did permit his phrenal con-
cepts to ooze forth in warlike hate to-
wards King Gilbert. But it came to
pass that when the imperial power of
the central throne was invoked, and
King Gilbert was dethroned from his
regency, and King Louis was set up to
reign over the territorial Israel, then
did the anger and sore pursuit of the
man from Pierre continue. But, 10!
there came a time when his bowels of
compassion were lifted clear Ou5 of their
sockets and he did yearn for peace. A
sample of his yearn has been trans
mitted here,
AND IT IS PLAINTIvELY THUS:
These Republican editors that are jumping
to the defense of ex-Gov. Pierce on partisan
grounds are making spectacles of themselves.
They evidently forget that Pierce owed his
appointment as governor to his mugwumpian
procliyitieS: that he was worse than a half
breed while he remained governor. Don't
make the mistake of considering the ex-gov-
ernor a reliable Republican. & A great
many good Democrats and Republicans are
discusted at the controversy now going on
tba the and
these gentlemen could be elected to the Off
ceS which they are filing, or have filed, and
the people of Dakota have but little interest
in either personally, and only desire peace
as an official, and was found wanting as
Republican; Church has made mistakes and
has his faults. but has not entirely passed
through the trial period yet. ''Let us have
peace"
Your correspondents attention was
invited to this yearn by Col. Herring,
| late of Deuel. county. He suggested
that there is such sting in the tail of
the yearn for peace that it
MEANS MORE WAR In THE LAND
Because the late Republican royalty
| of Bismarck would not doff its purple
and enter the arena as champion of
South Dakota, and because the present
royal family of the territorial province
will rather side with the Boynten fac
ton of the warning tribes, therefore are
they both hated by the man of Pierre
who yearnS for peace, even though he
may have to fight for it,. Historical ac-
euracy demands 1.-THE. correction of err
rorS. Gilbert did; not owe his appoint
ment ito his Mugwumpian proclivities."
Gilbert was erStWhile a Washington
correspondent-and a good one, one of
the finest. He never heard of Mug
wumpianiSm, nor dreamed of eohabita-
ton with them. He was a real, sure
enough, stalwart Republican, like unto
the man who hath trOd upon his corns,
in the name of peace. He was an 'advO-
cate of the nomination of Chester A.
Arthur, and an able advocate. Because
of his good service in that behalf he was
made Republican governor. That he
suffered with temporary alteration of
mind for couple of years, and did
practice the character of Mugwump, is
true. But he was not originally of that
ilk. AS soon as the official pap was
taken from his lips he recovered, and
has since been clothed and in his right
mind-as bitter Republican partisan
as ever, and even more bitter. The peO-
pie of Pierre desire peace, probably:
but, in these DER piping times of peace,
other lively citizens enjoy the war
which is going on, inaSmuch as it is
bloOdlesS. The boomings of the guns
are heard in WaShingtOn; and Grover
grinneth as he sees the dear people
gradually being converted with kind
ness. They are all coming to Church.
